OK I'm here, just got in. In your post you say - Certainment dogs take up less space than cows and sheep bla bla bla... - should that not read - Certainment dogs take up less space than cows and sheep baa baa baa...It's about time sheep and cows were featured here. They don't need taking for walks and never crap on the pavement or should I say sidewalk. OK that's because they are never on the pavements/sidewalks and here I rest my case.

Your sleight of hand with the macs totally and completely distracted me from French Cheese! It is legendary for its variety, but other than roquefort, camembert and brie...what do I know?Perhaps it is not the SPACE les chiens take up...but their extraordinary generosity with their - dare I say "ahem"? - hair!

I'm glad to see you watermarked your painting. Thanks for the trips to Paris everyday. If I don't have a few minutes to check your site, I tell myself I'm too busy!Jerie Artz(Still pondering one of the coffee paintings...)

I adore cheese and even really enjoy some of the stronger varieties, however, I had some on a cheese plate in Boefinger that I could barely swallow. I was with my mother and we both got giggling so hard that the (French) couple next to us did too. She told me in heavily accented English about taking some stinky cheese to her son-in-law's house in England and leaving it out on the counter and how he began searching the kitchen for what was rotten!
